Oklahoma State tight end Jordan Owens has committed to North Carolina out of the NCAA transfer portal, On3 has learned. He does so after spending just a few months with the Cowboys. Owens played at Central Arkansas in 2024 before transferring to Oklahoma State this offseason.

North Carolina's transfer class includes only two players who were full-time starters at a Power 4 program in 2024.

Even though the Tar Heels literally just hired Belichick last December, the ongoing drama surrounding Belichick and his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, leaves North Carolina in a very real world where the New England Patriots legend's tenure on Chapel Hill ends when his contract buyout drops from $10 million to $1 million on June 1.
